Received these in the last day yet have had a chance to optimize them using several features in the Sony App, including the ear tip fitment function which had me change to the large tips to improve the seal with my ears. In direct comparison to my Apple Airpods Pro buds, these Sony buds have significantly better sound, are more comfortable (need more time to fully assess this attribute), and the sound cancellation/isolation combo is very effective. What I love: - Sound quality - Comfortable in my ears - Secure fit - Noise cancellation / isolation - Sony App - Silver color is just plain cool What I dislike: - So far, nothing, EXCEPT some App-driven features for these buds don't appear to play well with my Apple iPhone Time with these will allow a full assessment, yet so far, so great!

Use the earbuds’ Speak-to-Chat function to pause your music when you need to speak. When the earbuds detect your voice, it will automatically switch to ambient sound.
